Céline Fall 2016 - Runway Review

March7,
2016

It was a beautiful, if fairly straight-forward, collection at the
normally thought-provoking Céline show. Silhouettes were, on the whole, loose
and relied on voluminous lengths in the pants to produce the effect of swirling
and layering. Phoebe Philo’s seasonal collections for Céline are easily among
the most coveted by the industry’s female power players.

For fall 2016, Philo played with elongated proportions and
thoughtful layering, making for a relaxed collection that still looked
polished. Wide-legged silk pants that brushed the floor as models walked were
worn underneath ruched satin dresses, oversized oxford shirts, utilitarian
vest-like frocks with silver snaps down the center and texturized black knits
in a cocoon-like shapes. A number of simple tunics and silk dresses were
haphazardly tied up in knots, and cozy turtlenecks were a popular base layer —
two styling elements that can instantly give a basic ensemble more intrigue.
